RESUMO
For the research on real-time accurate testing technology for the explosion point spatial coordinate of munitions, its currently commonly used methods such as acoustic-electric detection or high-speed imaging are limited by the field conditions, response rate, cost, and other factors. In this paper, a method of spatial coordinate testing for the explosion point based on a 2D PSD (position-sensitive detector) intersection is proposed, which has the advantages of a faster response, better real-time performance, and a lower cost. Firstly, a mathematical model of the spatial coordinate testing system was constructed, and an error propagation model for structural parameters was developed. The influence of the position of the optical axes' intersection as well as the azimuth angle and pitch angle on the test accuracy of the system was simulated and analyzed, thus obtaining the distribution and variation trend of the overall error propagation coefficient of the system. Finally, experiments were designed to obtain the test error of the system for validation. The results show that the system test accuracy is high when the azimuth angle is 20°-50°, the overall error propagation coefficient does not exceed 48.80, and the average test error is 56.17 mm. When the pitch angle is -2.5°-2.5°, the system has a higher test accuracy, with the overall error propagation coefficient not exceeding 44.82, and the average test error is 41.87 mm. The test accuracy of the system is higher when the position of the optical axes' intersection is chosen to make sure that explosion points fall in the region of the negative half-axis of the Zw-axis of the world coordinate system, with an overall error propagation coefficient of less than 44.78 and an average test error of 73.38 mm. It is shown that a reasonable selection of system structure parameters can significantly improve the system test accuracy and optimize the system deployment mode under the long-distance field conditions so as to improve the deployment efficiency.
RESUMO
In the laser screen velocity measuring (LSVM) system, there is a deviation in the consistency of the optoelectronic response between the start light screen and the stop light screen. When the projectile passes through the light screen, the projectile's over-target position, at which the timing pulse of the LSVM system is triggered, deviates from the actual position of the light screen (i.e., the target deviation). Therefore, it brings errors to the measurement of the projectile's velocity, which has become a bottleneck, affecting the construction of a higher precision optoelectronic velocity measuring system. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a method based on high-speed shadow imaging to measure the projectile's target deviation, ΔS, when the LSVM system triggers the timing pulse. The infrared pulse laser is collimated by the combination of the aspherical lens to form a parallel laser source that is used as the light source of the system. When the projectile passes through the light screen, the projectile's over-target signal is processed by the specially designed trigger circuit. It uses the rising and falling edges of this signal to trigger the camera and pulsed laser source, respectively, to ensure that the projectile's over-target image is adequately exposed. By capturing the images of the light screen of the LSVM system and the over-target projectile separately, this method of image edge detection was used to calculate the target deviation, and this value was used to correct the target distance of the LSVM to improve the accuracy of the measurement of the projectile's velocity.
